BKK to Angkor Wat

It used to be a very dangerous place a couple of years ago from what
I've heard. It also happened a few years ago that the boat over the lake
was attacked by pirates.

Yes, in 2000, - we were on the same boat a couple of weeks earlier.:-(

Yes they do - I'm trying to find out if there is an alternative that doesn't
cost 33,000 baht for 2 adults and 1 child but doesn't take all day to get
there.

I think that Bangkok Airways or Air Siem Reap is covering that route.
I flew Bangkok Airways from BKK to Yangoon and it was very convenient.
Maybe the LCC carrier Airasia makes the run as well.

cheers, harr

Just when I was thinking that sounded like a good option!

It still is a good option.

These people are talking about events that happened 4 years ago.
Cambodia has changed massively in that time. Heck only 7 years ago
getting taken hostage by the Khmer Rouge was a legitimate concern.

These days it's no more dangerous than Thailand (IMO).

Grab the latest Lonely Planet for Cambodia and have a read. Even better,
compare the 1996 and current LPs to see how much the place has changed.
